estate Press" of the Galveston News, re-
Gently reproduced the following testimonial
to tho charms OF this part of Texas from an
article entitled From Texas 20 California"
published in the last number of the South
ern Journal of Homeopathy:
"The writer came to Texas nearly IL
years ago. 1t was on the 4th day OF March,
1875. that our introduction was made to the
beautiful and fertile valleys OF the San Mar
cos and Comal rivers, and the impression
made ut that time upon our impresslonaDle
mind was that this particular part OF the
country was the Garden of L len OF Amer
lea. Three days before we had LETT our
northern home, the ground all covered with
snow and ice, the trees, fences and caves
of houses and barns all hanging with ioiclcs.
Here the gardens were green with early
vegetables; the peach and plum trees were
in full bloom, perfuming the air with Their
fragrance the larks aud mocking birds We're
singing their sweet notes, aud all nature
was dressed in the lovely attire of spring.
1t is said that first impressions are most
lasting. 1t certainly is SO in this case; and
the impression made upon our then youth
full mind has undergone no change as, even
at this late day, we do not hesitate to pro-
pounce the valleys of the Comal and San
Mar os to be among the most beautiful ana
fertile in the south"

These are spontaneous times, everything
happens and comes forth seemingly without
effort, and we poor mortals stand silently
by, wondering why it is so. Nevertheless
all nature moves along just the same and
we are forced to be content with the little
scratching we are able to do over tho sur
face of things for an existence, which to the
vaunting idea, is very humlating, To ac-
cept the situation is the part of wisdom,
which drives us along in this locality the
very best we cnn, plyine the grub axe, hoe
and the plaw, shutting our eyes against the
past, repeating the Lords Prayer hopefully
looking to the future for good results like
the faithful old preacher of North Carolina
when he found Father Grimes pasted IN his
hymn book Said he had been singing
outer this book for forty years, and the
book hod not gone back on him aud that
he would not now 20 back on his book but
would sing it if it killed him. We are in
like condition rs to the times but intend to
stand it if it kills us.

We are booming and running over with
railrond talk. l have not found II man who
is not in favor the road, but l have failed
to find any woman that favored it. They
have been informed the engine and tram
will keep up such racket squealing and
suorting, that eggs will not hatch and are
very doubtful if they will be laid after the
trains get to running, besides .hey will ruin
the sport of their little boys by giving the

We have received copy of the South-
west Chronicle, h ndsomely printed, out
spoken, Roman Catholic periodical. pub
lished at San Antonio, L. l. Coyle, editor
and proprietor. 1t is a literary curiosity,
assuming at this age of the world the lntal-
hbility of the Roman Catholic Church.
That we understand to be substantially its
position, and il is rampant in its advocacy
of the theological dogmas of the dark ages.
1t is very bitter against DR.. Cranhll for his
censure of the social customs of the Ger
mans, yet in its style and spirit it very much
reminds us of Cranfill. 1t is thus that ex-
tremes meet. AS specimen of the fair
ness and accuracy of this prejudiced editor,
take the following:
If the Anglo Saxon (?) branch in Texas
can show settlements to compare with New
Braunfels. fredericksburg Freelsburg, Cas-
troville, Industry, ETC., we would like to
know where they are. In Gonzales. San
Marcos, Lockhart, Bolton, what strikes the
Stranger first is the two great institutions of
Anglo-Saxan rule, the barred prison and the
court house. The names which we read
above the stores are Semitic, in general
tleir meeting houses are fit only for stables,
"The names which we read above their
storcs," says he, "are Semitic" (Jewish).
Now as to San Marcos, the fact is that there
is not a Jew in the mcrchantile business in
the place, while his other statements are by
far too sweeping. He should cultivate the
Christian crcaes of truthfulness aud charity.
